Lipa Actors Company dazzles in a performance When it started in 2005, the CCP Pasinaya: The Open House Festival had only its resident companies on board, with an estimated 1000 audiences inside the CCP Main Building.

After staging a two-night concert honoring the tenth anniversary of her well-received records, Human Eyes and Riverchild , Clara Benin marks the start of 2026 with the release of her new single, ‘ muscle memory ,’ out today via Sony Music Entertainment . Eschewing the pressures of virality in favor of pure, authentic storytelling, “muscle memory” packs a punch in its quiet moments and restraint. The song deals with the lingering presence of lost love: how someone you try so hard to avoid continues to linger in your thoughts, habits, and little reflexes long after the heartbreak.

Mon...
